Santa House on 'Today,' Beacom rerun on Letterman's show

A Midland doubleheader of sorts is scheduled on two television networks programs this morning and late tonight.

But its not baseball. Its the Today morning shows segment shot at the downtown Santa House, followed hours later by a late-night programs rebroadcast of a segment featuring a teen-age expert on use of duct tape.

As the Daily News previously reported, a reporter from NBCs Today show visited Midlands Santa House Dec. 7 for a segment to be broadcast sometime after 7 a.m.

And CBS has scheduled for tonight a rebroadcast of Midlander William Beacoms appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Beacom, a 16-year-old Midland High School student, appeared on the program Dec. 1. In a videotaped segment, he displayed items he made with duct tape and educated Letterman on duct tapes history.
